Based on low-cost settlement through the ACH network, a suite of electronic fund debit products has emerged for mobile and merchant / state issued debit cards. The industry has referred to this product as “ACH Decoupled Debit”. The term arose from the fact that the electronic fund will be issued from a third party that does not hold the cardholder’s savings or checking account and thus “decouples” the card from the traditional bank / depository institution. In this emerging payment space, Lotto Payment Association is referred to as an “Intermediate Service Provider”.

States and merchants are seeking / demanding a relief from the current business model and monopolistic pricing tendencies of credit card, debit card and payment processors. Lotto Payment Association is capitalizing on this opportunity for a new payment mechanism and has developed the infrastructure and deployed this distributed technology that bypasses the major card brands and their interchange schedules.
